Jodie Macpherson, LGBTQ+ History Month at Everyman (2022)

Jodie is a Scottish Illustrator and designer, based in Glasgow, whose work is all about taking a playful approach to the mundanities of the every-day and the ridiculousness of us as human beings, through colourful and hyperbolic illustration. She completed her BA (Hons) in Architecture at The Glasgow School of Art, and following graduation began exploring other mediums and creative outlets, which subsequently lead to the birth of her illustration practice. Jodie’s work often focuses on colourful and comedic characters with long, bendy limbs, and is inspired by all kinds of real people and things. Jodie’s work is created through a mixture of traditional sketching and digital drawing. However, she has a real love for woodwork and painting physical objects. Whenever she’s not drawings Jodie will most likely be found half-way up a climbing wall or drinking over-priced coffee in a park somewhere.
